One more time

I went to see Revenge of the Sith again last night. I just couldn't stay away.

Once again I really enjoyed it, and left the cinema on a downer feeling sad, but with an overwhelming urge to watch A New Hope. (Which I didn't because it was 11pm when I got home).

A couple of things that seem to have been overlooked amidst the hype and (endless) reviews.

(1) It looks awesome. That first space battle is just amazing. It's the sort of space battle I have been reading about and dreaming of since I was a little kid. Brilliant. And then the detail in each shot is incredible, like A New Hope there are people in the background just doing stuff, whatever it is they do. Each shot is a wonderful painting, ILM have really outdone themselves.

(2) The music is great. I love the bit where Anakin is in the jedi council room and Padme is in her apartment and they are waiting for Mace Windu to confront Palpatine. The music drops down really quiet, but spooky. Another triumph Mr. Williams.
